TL;DR Summary

Two mountain climbers, Eli Michel and Nafiun Awal, are missing and presumed to have fallen while climbing Moose's Tooth in Alaska. The climbers likely triggered a small avalanche, and the search efforts are focused on a heavily crevassed glacier. The climbers' tent and ski tracks were found, and items such as ice axes and a climbing helmet were discovered in the avalanche path. The search is ongoing, but low visibility and snowfall have hindered aerial efforts.
